adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective slow-paced

3.0

This book was really weird, and though I liked it, I'm not sure I would recommend it. I also don't think I would have liked it as much if I hadn't been listening to the audiobook; I may have given up if I were reading a physical copy. 

For most of this book, I couldn't really tell you what it was about, or what the main plot was. Not that that's always a bad thing, but still.

This book was incredibly obnoxious to me. The author's repeated references to young women in a sexual manner made it incredibly uncomfortable for me to read and I only ended up only finishing it for a book club.
